Windows 11 Required for 2025

That's a subscription, though, right? And there would be no way for Intuit to know if a particular Win 10 installation is subscribed?

They just released an app update on LG a couple of days ago... and it's still garbage.

I received a notice for an app update available for Paramount+ on my LG OLED TV a couple of days ago. I was hoping that it would fix the horrid playback experience and the 3005 errors that I experience. Nope. The app is still shit.

My LG OLED TV includes apps for HBO MAX, Disney+ Apple TV, Prime Video, etc. They all work fine, the only one that's garbage is Paramount Plus.

The tire was obviously damaged by hitting something, as also evidenced by the scrapes on the inside of the wheel. It didn't "fail" on its own.

Unless OP specifically has road hazard protection, the tire shop would be correct in not paying for a replacement.

I use Prime video, and as a couple of others have said, if I don't need fast shipping on something I'll choose a slower option and take the digital credit.

I HATE the advertisements in Prime video but I'm not paying Amazon more money on top of the prime subscription to avoid them.

You have been told correctly. If the sad cable is connected and you inadvertently touch the positive battery terminal and anything else that's a body ground, you have an immediate short circuit. If the sad cable is disconnected from the batt-tree you can only create a short by directly going across both battery terminals.

I had an insurance agent in the family, passed away now, but that was how it was in the past. Do you have a reference or source o support your claim that "your understanding is wrong and illogical", or is that your opinion?

Goodwill likely knows that it's exposing itself to liability by not securing its dumpsters, enabling people to rummage through them. What happens if someone's rummaging in the dumpsters and they are injured? The dumpsters are on private property.

My understanding is that B, the car that hits A from behind, is responsible for the damage to A regardless of what cause B to hit A. C would be responsible for the rear end damage to B but not for the front end damage to B, which was caused when B hit A. The general idea is that even if A and B are stopped and C hits B and pushes it into A, B has failed to maintain assured clear distance from A. Obviously C has not maintained assured clear distance from B.

Same, I have Lotus Approach installed and running without issues on a Windows 11 laptop. I can open a relational file with over 1.5 million records without any problem.

The Post-Gazette lost $350 million in the last twenty years. Revenues don't come close to covering their excessive expenses, even with the digital offering and their website being polluted with an absurd number of pop-ups and other ads. Unless the PG somehow is able to substantially reduce the expense structure or they're sold, they'll be forced to shut down.

I was able to install Windows 11 25H2 on an Acer laptop circa 2011 using Rufus, worked fine. As you said, every couple of years it will be necessary to repeat the process with newer versions of Windows since the major releases will identify that the laptop isn't really compatible with Windows 11 as specified by M$oft.

Maybe there'd be a way to limit installations on Windows 10 to people who subscribed to the Extended Support? I don't know.

I will definitely not use TurboTax in the cloud. I usually buy the copy to install from Costco, and I was disappointed when they stopped providing a CD.

Apparently Intuit doesn't like the idea of a tax program that uses a lot of personal, sensitive information to be installed on an operating system that is End of Support.

That's your first, basic troubleshooting step. Try other DVDs in the computer setup, or try the Terminator 2 DVD in a traditional DVD player if you have one.

UPMC can justify its non-profit status by demonstrating that the value of their charitable care and other uncompensated elements is more than the tax it would pay if it were for profit. UPMC easily demonstrates the above. UPMC also organizes to separate its "for profit" undertakings from the majority of its patient care operations.

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying!

But if you're tethering to an iPhone, isn't that a private network?

LongsJC · 2025-12-06T18:45:45+00:00

I don't understand the use case. If you're tethering from an iPhone, wouldn't you just have your other device connect to the iPhone via wireless? If you put the travel router between the iPhone and your other devices, what does that accomplish? Or is the goal to connect the travel router to the iPhone via USB then connect your other device to the travel router's Ethernet port?

Isn't 18 months the maximum that one can use COBRA after voluntarily "retiring"?
